the unemployment rate was 4 % when clinto left office and now it is 5.4%, so how is this an improvement?
Never mind the facts, or the truth, so long as people want to believe that the president has improved employment, the truth doesn't matter.
However, why they're even trying to suggest this, I don't know, because the president's effect on employment is minimal. Saying that GWB is largely responsible for unemployment dropping or raising, is like saying that an extra in a movie is responsible for the film getting oscar nominated for best motion picture of the year.
